This made him feel both apprehensive and excited.
What terrifies me is that I'm just an ordinary person; can I possibly win?
To be precise, can you last up to three minutes?
What's exciting is the opportunity to fight against beings from mythology and legends—something that only happens in dreams.
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat admiring. Knowing the monkey's identity, this person was still brave enough to step forward, which made him a hero with a very strong will.
The codename "Wolf Warrior" is truly well-chosen.
"Alright, alright, then you go ahead."
Bai Zhi patted Zhan Lang's arm and said with a smile.
Chapter 837 Jingyuan's Nervousness
Stepping onto the arena, Zhan Lang looked at the monkey standing there, seemingly bored, took a deep breath, and said, "I am Zhan Lang, from the Earth United Government... Great Sage, please accept our respect."
After saying that, he took out a few peaches that he had just bought at the Xianzhou Market from his pocket, amidst the astonished gazes of the contestants watching below.
"How could someone think of such a method?"
Bai Zhi, who was watching the battle, became interested. The people on Earth were surprisingly clever. Instead of choosing to fight head-on, they used a roundabout strategy.
Seeing his opponent take out a peach, the monkey was visibly taken aback, then glanced at Bai Zhi without making it obvious.
Bai Zhi winked at the monkey as if they were telepathically connected.
"What is this guy doing? Does he really think the other guests are monkeys?"
"Look at the guests, they're all stunned. They're probably furious with this guy. We're in for a good show later."
"That's right, that's right, this is going to be good."
Upon seeing this, the contestants below immediately began to argue amongst themselves. In the previous competition, this guest had shown no mercy whatsoever. Not only did he not offer any peaches, but many beautiful and charming women tried to use their looks to persuade him to go easy on them or slow down his attacks, but all to no avail.
When the opponent fights, they are all hard-hearted, as if everything is a pink skull.
None of these are useful. Would it be useful to just take a peach?
"Wait a minute……"
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, the monkey walked up to the wolf warrior and gently took the peach.
"call……"
Sweat beaded on Zhanlang's forehead. He then let out a soft breath. The moment the monkey approached him, he truly felt the pressure emanating from it, even though the monkey wasn't as tall as him.
However, it brought him immense pressure, like a mountain pressing down on him.
"Wow, this really works! If I buy a whole basket of peaches, I'm guaranteed to win!"
"Isn't this considered cheating?"
"This is so unfair! It's practically bribery!"
The contestants below seemed a bit restless.
Bai Zhi glanced down and said, "Everyone, I haven't restricted your combat methods. Even those who used drones before, I didn't say anything. As long as your strategy isn't an outrageous method like using star destroyers, it's fine."
Upon hearing this, the contestants, though still somewhat dissatisfied, remained silent. After all, the idea of using peaches to temporarily stop the mystery guest from attacking was something most people wouldn't have thought of.
"Click, click, click."
The monkey finished the peach in a few bites, and about 40 seconds had passed.
At this moment, the monkey looked at Bai Zhi again, and Bai Zhi nodded slightly.
That's about enough of the little backdoor I opened for my fellow Earthlings. Now, it's up to him to see if he can withstand the pain. If he can, I wouldn't mind giving him a pill as a prize.
"Gulu..."
Seeing the monkey pull the golden cudgel out of his ear, Wolf Warrior broke out in a cold sweat.
So far, not even a minute has passed, and the other party has only taken one of the peaches he brought. It's clear that the other party won't give him much leeway just because he brought so many peaches.
Can we hold on until then?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he saw the monkey, who had been on the opposite side of the arena, appear in front of him as if by teleportation.
At that moment, his pupils contracted, his destiny power erupted instantly, and his entire body shimmered with an earthy yellow glow. A thick shield enveloped him almost instantly.
"boom!"
A sound like shattering glass rang out, and he looked in disbelief at his thick shield, which was as thin as paper in front of the golden cudgel, breaking through with a single puncture.
Then an indescribable, immense force slammed into him.
At that moment, he felt as if all the tissues in his body had been smashed apart, and every cell was frantically sending pain signals to his brain.
The contestants who were initially dissatisfied immediately fell silent, because they watched as the Monkey King smashed Wolf into the thick steel deck with a single blow.
There are no fancy techniques, only pure numbers.
"That contestant..."
One of the contestants swallowed hard. "I'm not going to die, am I?"
Those who fought the monkey before were basically pushed out of the arena in various fancy ways and judged as losers. Even if they were hit, at most their injuries were slightly more serious, and Bai Zhi could easily heal them.
But now that they've been smashed into the deck of the sturdy starship, the Jingfeng, won't they be turned into pieces beyond saving?
Of course, Wolf Warrior also felt he deserved to die.
The excruciating pain throughout his body made him almost believe that his life was about to end.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strange power emerge from within his body, supporting him and preventing his body from collapsing.
"This is from back then... Ah, is it just my imagination?"
Zhan Lang recalled the inexplicable feeling that appeared in his body after Bai Zhi patted him, as if a warm current had entered his body.
But because he was so nervous, and because the power was somewhat hidden, he thought it was an illusion.
But now, that power suddenly erupted, giving him unparalleled vitality.
This made him realize that this was a small favor from the Dragon Lord, and it also made him understand why the Great Sage had treated him so harshly.
As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. Having received help from the Dragon Lord, I will naturally lose the Great Sage's mercy.
"Holy crap, that guy's not dead yet, he's standing up!!"
"Is this guy really that strong? If it were me, I'd be a meat patty by now."
"To safeguard one's destiny is terrifying indeed."
As Zhanlang staggered to his feet, he heard Bai Zhi say calmly, "Zhanlang, it's not too late for you to surrender now. You can take your 500 million credits with you."
"Lord Dragon Lord... thank you, but I have a mission to fulfill and cannot fall behind here!"
This was an opportunity he had fought hard for. He was determined to win the prize, even if it was just a little pain, for the sake of all the people on Earth!
"This gentleman certainly has the style of our Immortal Boat Cloud Riders."
A slightly languid voice rang in Bai Zhi's ears.
"General, what brings you here to watch the game?"
Bai Zhi asked without turning her head.
"Haha, I heard that you brought someone back, Xiao Baizhi. I was curious, so I came here specifically."
Jing Yuan walked over to Bai Zhi and asked her indirectly.
For Bai Zhi's safety, he still had to question anyone of unknown origin who approached her.
After all, he could accept that Bai Zhi was abducted by generals from other immortal ships, but if she were abducted by people from other civilizations, wouldn't he be the number one sinner of the immortal ship?
"Guess~"
"Hehe, General, how about a match with him? He's quite skilled in close combat."
Chapter 838 General, shall we have a contest?
"Oh?"
Jing Yuan stroked his chin. "To be praised like this by you, Little Angelica, it seems this monkey brother is quite capable."
"Would the general like to have a match?"
In fact, Bai Zhi was also very curious about the true strength of this Great Sage's Shadow. If it were a real monkey, Bai Zhi was almost certain that in close combat, General Jing Yuan would most likely be elbowed and crash his plane.
After all, the monkey is a pure stat monster and a melee expert, but if the monkey is nerfed by half, then it's hard to say.
"Since Xiaobaizhi has said so, then let's skip it."
"Eh?"
A question mark popped into Bai Zhi's head. This was not what she had expected. Wasn't it supposed to be that Jing Yuan would confidently agree and then let her watch a scene where the envoy and the monkey elbow each other?
Jing Yuan smiled, picked up Bai Zhi, and patted her head. "Little Bai Zhi, you can't hide your little tricks from me. Just think about what kind of general I am?"
Bai Zhi immediately realized what she meant, rolled her eyes, and said, "I think you should become the Commander of Wisdom, General."
General Shence's intelligence is indeed still on point; his attempts to provoke him were completely ineffective.
"Haha, I'll take it as Xiao Baizhi praising me. However, I'm also very interested in this hero. Could you introduce him to me, Xiao Baizhi?"
Jing Yuan lowered his head, his face beaming with smiles.
"General, isn't your intention a bit too obvious?"
"Have it?"
"Seriously, don't treat me like a child. I'm not some kid who can be easily kidnapped."
As Bai Zhi spoke, she slapped Jing Yuan's hand away.
Jing Yuan smiled nonchalantly, "Of course I believe Xiao Baizhi, but while I believe her, others will be very worried. For example, after Fu Qing accidentally found out, she even did a divination, but she still couldn't figure out who that person came from."
"Okay, okay, he is my... Yi Ling, that's right, it's Yi Ling."
"Memory spirit?"
Jing Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the meaning of the term, "Could it be that you've embarked on the path of memories again?"
Although Jing Yuan knew that a person could take multiple paths, he was still somewhat astonished. Bai Zhi had taken far too many paths. First was the hunting expedition. Both the Divine Lord and the Storm Sword were proof of her hunting expeditions.
Another possibility is that it's due to abundance. Bai Zhi's healing power is so strong that even the Abundance Envoys he's met can't achieve the same level of healing as Bai Zhi.
Now another memory has arrived.
"Hmm, I just met Lord Liuguang this morning. He even invited me to be a Memory Registrar, but I can't bear to leave everyone in Luofu, so I declined."
"But Lord Liuguang still patted my head, which made me advance by leaps and bounds in my memory journey."
"The Heavenly Lord Liuguang personally received me??"
Jing Yuan's eyes widened slightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little worried about his Imperial Bow Master.
Although Emperor Bow Master is indeed incredibly generous, he is very young among the Star Gods, and his power is relatively not particularly strong.
Among all the Star Gods, memory is definitely considered extremely powerful.
Given Bai Zhi's extraordinary talent, he had a premonition that she might be targeted by a bunch of Star Gods.
If Bai Zhi is taken away, then the Emperor's Bow and Fate...
"Oh dear, how could I have such a rebellious thought? Besides, the Star God is fickle; how could he try to snatch people like a mortal?"
Jingyuan himself laughed at his own abrupt idea.
The Star God is always high above and rarely pays attention to the masses. Even if Bai Zhi is very special, it shouldn't be enough to make the Star God make such a choice.
"But it's unbelievable that you are Yi Ling. His strength is unexpectedly strong."
Jing Yuan turned his gaze to the monkey. Even though he was not known for his martial prowess, that was only relatively speaking. Before becoming a general, he was a seasoned Yunqi warrior. Naturally, he had his own standards for judging a person's martial prowess.
In his view, the monkey's every move is powerful and heavy, yet it is also agile. Even if it has not yet shown other skills, it is definitely a good fighter based on these qualities alone.
"How do you compare to the general?"
Bai Zhi asked with some curiosity.
